A line from Die Hard, too.

Only bettered by "Sometimes I don't think you have the balls for this job M". "At least I don't have to think with them"

@@twaito I was just coming here to say that. h/t to you.

a good way of saying to admiral windbag there "shut the hell up asshole let the man get on with it"

I said exactly the same thing to an angry punter when my boss at the time (a woman!) was being given a hard time. Shut him up completely. Then lo and behold, M says the same thing as me!

Agreed

When he straightened his tie in the underwater scene in the opening of The World is Not Enough.

And the missile can perfectly hug the relief of the territory it traverses.

ship -> missile -- one link mi6 -> bond -- another link

Yep I love this movie so much. It's just non stop action and I love it.

I love the “climax of a different mission” thing they do at the beginning of Bond films to indicate Bond does these crazy escapades ALL the time, not just when we are watching him during the movie’s mission.

Chos and confusion are the underrated words here...typical of a war lol

@@turbopokey Bond: They really do send me in for all the crazy stuff.

True! Great movie!!!

Pretty well sums up NATO-Russian military relations

​@celticknight221 Yeah...with rocket launching failure😂

The '90ies was Russia's SNAFU decade...

@@samuelattas3864 Literally just them covertly telling NATO to help them clean up leftover Soviet fuck-ups

Every opening was awesome! It's a shame the only one that could follow the great opening was golden eye, but atleast for the other three the intros were great

Agreed

Whilst I agree Brosnan had the best openings, I think the Craig's Casino Royale Free Running opening was possibly the best of all

For me Tomorrow Never Dies is the best Opening Sound Track of Bond films.

All brosnan films and craig films are good except quantam of solace which was shit

Love that line, how the admiral reacts in confusion and M chuckling to Bond's humor

@@GreatWestern175 You can actually see M trying not to be TOO smug about her competent agents as opposed to the ham-handed and short-sighted actions of their naval officer which almost set off a nuclear disaster. This is why gathering intelligence should always be done by the best.

Bronze Blues, No, That's why THIS Bond is the coolest man ever

@@pr-tj5by I cannot disagree with that.

Well, Admiral Roebuck good luck explaining your poor decision making to the Minister of Defence

One of the Best Judi Dench M moments for sure.

@OP yeah totally agree. She’s angry and pissed and I love it😂

He's going for the bombs!?

It's also a riposte to the admiral. At 2:31, M says that "my man isn't finished", the admiral replies "get your man out of there - his job is over".

Total opposite of the last movie.

I thought that was cool too.

RIP Geoffrey

"Would you care for a custard tart, Admiral?"

Me too Massively!

Same

Dudes still acting his ass off he was cast as Dr fate in the dceu and he killed that role also plays Liam hennesay in the forgeiner alongside Jackie chan which his character is based off Martin mcginess and gerry Adams ( both ex ira terrorists)

Me too, it was my very first Bond movie as a 7 year old, haha. My uncle reluctantly let me watch it.

I remember being 6 or 7 and not really understanding what made those torpedoes important.

I'm pretty sure when he ejected the "backseat driver", his head would have been severed as he still had the chord around his neck. And I'm pretty sure he would have already lost consciousness given the time he already been choked.

@@Mrraugut I'm also sure he wouldnt have been able to do anything that he did. But the point is its a movie not a fucking documentary.

@@adamrules01 Of course it's a movie and it makes no sense. But it's fun to go back and make fun of the absurdity.

If you look the ejected guy goes into the other jet causing it to blow up

The most likely answer to the 1st part of that is that the guy that was strangling Bond was so surprised that he let go of the cord The most likely answer to the 2nd part of that is that Bond has been given enough training to ensure that if he's been choked he will be able to stay consciousness for several minutes loner then most people

Into his ***

Some classic lines said by this bond.. "Backseat driver"

brosnan was so cool.... craigs bond would say admiral..... and then stare into the camera while having a midlife crysis

@@ErniLandia hahahah

Lies again? Troy Melbourne Sydney

A lot of weapons have a war/peace time setting.

@@ghostviggen Isn't that just a trigger?

@@Vikingr4Jesus5919 A radar guided weapon system uses its radar differently between war and peace setting. Fighter planes with war settings have secret boosting of its capabilities when you switch to war.

@@ghostviggen Ah, that's interesting additional info. But I was actually just joshing haha. The difference between war and peace is often one trigger pull. I mean, that's technically how WWI started, if my history serves me well.

Even Pax Romana was a thing "though ironically they still waged war, its just it was less civil war in Rome in those times"

I actually like TND, it’s in my top 5, but the best 2 are From Russia With Love and Goldeneye

Me too! I saw this at 9 years old in 1999, Golden Eye was the one that made me fall in love with the 007 franchise though, I ended up seeing that a year later when I rented it on VHS from our neighborhood library lol

Honestly I like Tomorrow Never Dies a lot

I'm with you, it was my first Bond film and that, Pierce Brosnan was my favorite actor. He had that typical James Bond vibe. He had that charisma. My Childhood movie

Couldn't agree more. Not necessarily the best movie overall, but definitely the best opening or at the very least one of the best openings in the series. Still a great movie overall!

Good but Goldeneye had the best intro and song.

Same, before things got crazy over the top in the next two films.

Me too, although I like the “Shocking... Positively shocking” intro to Goldfinger as well. These days... Bond has lost it. Other action franchises do this sort of thing so much better.

Agreed. And then the movie went downhill from there.

Lucky Eddy Hagar the Horrible and Broomhilda are two of the most unfunny comic strips

@@bille5960 all comic strips are unfunny. we read them for nostaliga for a simpler time.

3:02 - Jeep is blocking the nuclear torpedoes.

also, telling the missile to auto-destroy cannot be done as it is out of range of its ship, yet they got a live feed to the missile's somehow existing frontal camera lmao

Well, James hadn't quite grokked that there's someone back home who's too trigger-happy to let him *finish his job* before blowing the place to hell. JB: "Ask the Admiral exactly *where* he'd like his bombs delivered." SUBTEXT: (M, if you so desire it, your favorite son will shove them up his ass.)

Then you wouldn't get the cliffhanger drama'/!!!

Yoooo cultured man lmao

He is the most reliant on heavy weapons Bond. RC car. Rocket Launchers. Grenades. Plastic Explosive. Stun Gas. Ski acrobatics. A FREAKING TANK.

It actually shows his military training. You don’t see this kind of work from Daniel Craig.

@@jamespruitt6718 It shows that Bond isn't the average stereotype of spy, and more on the lines of the british "commando" tradition, specifically the intelligence operations of the SAS.

Best bond games are all Brosnan ones too

@@jamespruitt6718 you are kidding right? Daniel Craig’s bond is much better at hand to hand and flying as well as driving.

Kind of did go horribly wrong though, he was supposed to just take pictures then leave, but he had to risk his life to avert a disaster. It’s James Bond though, so it was ez for him lol

@@PBL187 hahaha well said, bond is the guy you want nearby when stuff goes wrong.

"His job!"

@@PBL187 Well he is trained for this kind of work. The Bristish don't fool around when training there agents anymore than we do!

Bond isn't introduced immediately, we the audience see what the agency sees until the action. Best Bond movie period I love the grainy spy camera perspective.

From what I understand it's sort of like a psychological label. When you switch to WAR it's meant to make you think if even for a split second before firing such a large weapon.

- We can't fire this nuclear rocket, it is peace. - Turn war on! - Yessss Sirrr!

I read somewhere that the Swedish JAS Gripen fighter jet had a similar type of switch, the exact function of which is supposedly classified but which unlocks certain features of the aircraft that might be better not being available to use accidentally in situations where people aren't out to kill you.

​@@nevillefatbottom2927There's a full power switch in the F-15 that gives the engine 3% more power but requires a complete rebuild afterwards. The pilot also probably gets a dressing down afterwards.

Amazing score!!!! Quite simply perfection

And Moby.

Absolutely agree. Brilliant! The ideal successor to the great John Barry.

I don't hate Eric Serra as a screen composer but he was God awful with the Goldeneye soundtrack as a whole.

Yes! Just like John Barry, mixed with modern trends

Jean and Lionel. wow.

Before Tea time, before tea time

100% The Best.....

Having been reminded of him and Dench and As Time Goes By, him playing the Admiral was no coincidence

A bit of a cockup on the missile front! ;-)

Men's gotta do, what a men's gotta do.

I like the fact she sounds like a proud mother.

@@lindildeev5721 which is made even better because one of the first things she ever said to Bond when she first met him was "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur."

I like when she was told she didn't have the balls for the job she replied at least she had the advantage of not having to think with them. Or something along those lines. I forget which movie.

exactly!

Rodger Moore was the best.

Exactly. That perfect blend. I'd love a return to this tone of bond. Fun, not depressing

Hey, let's not forget Connery and Lazenby!

@@kanagawayarichin Brosnan and Moore are my favorites with Connery

I thought Lionel was in the Army.

@@joekerr3638 Well, some people find they need a part-time job after retirement...

give DAD a break, it was supposed to be a homage to the previous 19 Bond films and 40 years of cinematic Bond

+Joan Ruiz Jacob I agree. It was ridiculous, but in a good way; a good finale. After that, realism took the driver's seat and Craig became the new Bond.

He had the best opening scenes

Die Another Day's opening was epic!

For TWINE you forgot the classy underwater tie straightener

By far my favorite one

@@Badchi it’s kinda weak, because they wanted to put a lot of effects into it and 2002 had bad CGI

@@simplifier_ I think you're mistaking it with Die Another Day, which is horrible.

Almost all 1962-2002 bond movies are master piece. Except a few ones Whats made me mad is the new producer from daniel craig era. That decided to transform bond into a generic action movie that looks more like jason bourne then james bond Their argument was that bond was too lucky, too handsome, too funny and smooth, too much skilled, too much helped by fancy gadget, too much of a flirt guy. Which according to them made bond movie not realistic Result: bond popularity collapsed ever since they did that 😂 never change a recipe that works and give sucess. Bond movies since 2006 are now just a action movie among many others. Its no longer a must watch

@@mathewvanostin7118 could not disagree more

That missile looks so outdated, and the explosion of the other ones on the mountain also definitely not 2020 quality; it shows it's from the 90s still-not-there special effects.

@@julioareck lol that mountain explosion was disgusting. Looked worse than a youtubers explosion.

@@vegsmashed grow up

​@@strikerbowls791 Says the guy with one video that has 24 down votes and 4 upvotes. Learn to make videos instead of garbage.

No this is definitely from the 90s

Which we would get if they would just go with Nomi, Bond's replacement as 007 in No Time to Die. She was fun and she had some of that Brosnan and Moore style along with her own.

@@samsonguy10k No

@@samsonguy10k 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@samsonguy10k Yeah, same. She really has the style to pull that off. They'll never do it because of the anti-woke snowflakes screaming, sadly.

@@Cailus3542 Haven't you noticed? Go woke, get broke! 😂😂😂

Lol I don’t think anyone thinks SPECTRE has a good opening. A very slow boring single shot, a fake looking explosion, and then a helicopter flying around for a bit? Yawn.

I think this opening is better than all of craigs films put together

@@RK-it1pn skywalk and NTTD were both great, but this is a lot of fun as well

@@RK-it1pn wtf🤣🤣

@@anthonydpearson , Skyfall.

GOLDEN EYE was also amazing

@@karagothshlomidabush3727 "For England, James ?" "For England" Two hours later "For England, James ?" "No, for me" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH !"

The jeep was covering the missiles in the beginning.

​@@MartinZanichelli imagine what will happen if that cruise missile hits those torpedoes, that Admiral Roebuck should've wait

GoldenEye yes tommorow never dies no

They’ve made some mistakes in the film but still tomorrow never dies is the best anyone can do. Should be in Greatest number 5 until Daniel Craig arrived.

The World Is Not Enough, though the longest of all the cold openings (save maybe one of the more recent Craig ones), has grown on me. It's Brosnan at his most ruthless (hell, it was probably one of the coldest Bonds next to Quantum--from the way he took down the heavies in the bank all the way to when he executed an unarmed woman point-blank and in cold-blood) and that boat chase sequence was awesome!

@@skyry101 I just miss the fun and escapism, the cool panache of Brosnan that was missing with Craig, except for the first 40 minutes of Spectre

The WINE pre opening title sequence was the only good part about the movie

TWINE bank and boat chase is lacking, it might be one of the longest intros of the franchise?

I still would have preferred Dalton

In the 90s? More or less so. Afterwards yeah, it's a circus not elections.

In the 90s it was. More than today.

@@FEARoperative agree to disagree. Yeltsyn indeed started removing political opponents pretty early in his reign, albeit not right away. Still, THERE WERE independent parties, THERE WERE different powers at play - not just one like it is now. And last but not the least, there was an independent journalism in the country. If you think now is any better, you’re either misinformed or too young to remember.

@@Badchi I literally said the elections back then were more legit than today. People will go out of their way to misunderstand and get offended these days.

@@FEARoperative You have to phrase your responses better next time. Your “in the 90s it was” seemed to have been directed at my “it’s a circus not election”.

I’d say the actual reference was a massive explosion after he got the plane in the air in both films, cos in Goldeneye he had to ride a motorbike off the cliff and sky dive to the plane before it crashed

GoldenEye is so much better and tommorow never dies is one of the WEAKER BOND MOVIES

tomorrow never dies is alot morr escapist while goldeneye has a really good story and great characters

Indeed. It would take us all day to unpack everything wrong with this opening.

@@DJones476 it's a james bond film not a documentary

@@DJones476 but it’s cool tho 🥺

It was firing automatically at the barrels that just exploded.

You have a few dozen men with some of the most lethal weapons in mankind's arsenal, and none of them can hit a virtually stationary plane 25 meters away.

'It isn't even mine!'

what will happen if elliot carver gets the nuclear torpedos instead of the sea drill.

Since he is the villain and Bond ruined all his plans he would despise this intro. He would simply say "Pathetic"

I mean, he may he a sexist misogynist dinosaur, but you still need a hammer to insert nails into wood.

It's gratifying because bond has the full support of his authority figures, not like the Craig films with all this drama

SHOOT. HER.

Don’t forget the rocket booster the seat uses to eject. it would still be firing at that point

Mate it’s good but it’s not innovative , it’s an action sequence

Yes, it suggests that he's concerned for him on a more personal level. Bond is usually shown to be on friendly terms with M's chief of staff.

I believe Robinson was Bond's only other friend than Alec.

@@Seriona1 And Felix Leiter.

@@michaelgreenwood3413 Ah yes of course.

@@Seriona1 Entire movie of him going Rogue just to kill the fuck who hurt Felix and killed his Wife. And then some further massive asskicking after Felix was killed in one of the Craig films. To quote Bond: "I had a brother. His name was Felix Leiter."

My train of thoughts after reading this comment : ".......Wait no, that's not possible I have missed thaPFFFFFFFFRT ! xD"

I have never ever ever seen that. That’s brilliant lol

Haha. Nice eye

That isn't a gag. That's an actual switch in various military hardware.

Lol. But of course!

he’s bond… of course he knows

he's a naval commander and a seasoned operative, and it's pretty well established that he knows how to fly planes througohut the series....

How about "back at you ". "in your face rear admiral "!

Let's not talk about Die Another Day!

OK, so you either really love a great bike chase or you really hate Terri Hatcher. I wonder which it is?

Neither especially

Lol I’d go more with “holy shiiiiiit”

That's Connery

Same here

Why would you strangle the pilot , you'll die too ! 🤔🙄🥴
